BILL NYE AT COURT.
The Humorist Makes u Call on Queen
Kapiolani.

Kapiolani.
BIZ Nye gives the following account In
the New York World OF visit paid by
him to the part sovereign Of the Sandwich
Islands: was ushered into the presence OF
Queen Kapiolaui, who was at the time ac-
companed by her suite and another gentle
man whose name did not learn.
She is n distinguished looking woman OF
middle age, but In apparent good health,
and with constitution which | think
would easily endure the fatigue Of reigning
over a much larger country than her own.
AS entered the room and made low,
groveling obeisance, an act that is wholly
foreign to my nature, the queen made q
rapid movement towards the bell, but
held her back and assured her that | did
not drink.
We then chatted gayly for some time in
relation to the Sandwich business and court
matters, including the Sharp trial.
For some time the queen seemed con-
strained and evidently could not think of
anything TO say, but she soon saw that
was not naughty or reserved, and when at
last she reluctantly showed me out and
locked the door felt amply repaid for the
annoyance one naturally feels on visiting
perfect stranger.
From what she said regarding her dynasty
| gather that 1t consists of covey OF half
grown islands in the Pacific, inhabited by
people who were once benighted and car
nlvorous, but happy. Now they are well
informed and bilious, while they revel In
suspenders and rum, with all the blessings
Of late hours, civilization and suicide.
The better classes Of the Sandwich
Islands have the same customs which pre-
vail here, and the swallow-tail coat is quite
prevalent there. The low.neck and short
sleeve costume is even carried to greater
excess perhaps, and all opera tickets read:

Few, probably, of the men who pa

Portable arm-chairs OH brass-ornament-
ed stands ever stop to think OF the
origin of these conveniences. They
have increased III number so rapidly
within the last few years that they arc
now as common a sight as street-lamp
or a horse-car. The majority of the
stands are made by an Italian, who
proudly claims the honor of inventing
them. His triangular-shaped shop is
over a backsmith's and is reached by
short flight of rough wooden steps that
might almost be called a ladder. In
this small shop. with one window. boot
backing stands are piled from floor to
ceiling. They are in various stages OF
completion and in different sizes, some
being large enough for one. two. or
three chairs, so that purchaser may
buy according to his means. They
range in price from g for a pine wood,
painted, single-chair stand, as high as
$40 But of course no heightened boot
black would buy 81 affair. He would
aspire to one made of mahogany and
brass-mounted, which would cost him
s. or $40.
Zinc is going out of fashion as n coy
ering for the top and brass is taking its
place. A stand large enough for three
chairs was in process of construction.
and when finished will be sold for $50.
1t contained three lock drawers for
brushes and backing, beside money
drawer. and will have brass top and
trimmings.
The genial inventor is good-looking
Italian about fifty years of age, who has
been in this city six or seven years.
He seemed pleased to talk of his work.
but deplored the fact that four or five
men who had worked under him had
set up similar workshops. so that he
had not so many orders as formerly.
He unlocked the door of a small office
and showed some designs for the foot
rests. There were stately camelS, fierce
looking lions, ponies and soldiers, but
the most original was a cavalier on
prancing charger framed in horse
shoe. These are the Italians own de-
signs. He buys child's toy, twists 1t
to satisfy himself. and adds TO it or
takes away until he is suited. and car

POWER OF LUCIGEN.
A New Light Which Is Twelve Times
Cheap ~ Gas.

A very successful demonstration of
lis Qucigen) great lighting powers was
recently given at the Crystal Palace.
The method of producing this light
consists in forming an intimate mixture
of air and infinitely divided oil PARTICLES.
resulting. when ignited, in a cOntimu-
Gus, steady flame of great brightness.
The mechanism, which is very simple,
is worked by small supply of conf
pressed air ard the flame is under per-
feet control by merely turning a tap.
AS the light is produced by the COM
bustion of crude and waste oils, its cost
is. nv actual measurement by the official
gas analyst for Glasgow, found to be
from One-tenth to one-twelfth the cost
of gas, and about one-twentieth that of
electric light of the same actual candle
power 1t is stated that an area Of half
Il square mile can be flooded with light
equal 10 daylight ut an expenditure Of
one shilling and threcpence per hour.
The great value of this light lies III
its diffuSiveness, which adapts it 50
admirably for use on works or where
any outdoor operations have to be
carried on ut night. A naked arc lamp
in room is so binding that work can
not be done; but when an opaleScent
globe is placed over it, so as to reduce
the intensity. the eye sees details in the
room much better, although the opales-
cent globe has cut off three-quarters Of
the light. The effect of the lucigen may
he imagined. as it is said to produce a
flame of three thousand actual candle
power. or equal to six large are lamps,
while its radiative surface is about three
hundred and fifty square inches, us
against one square-inch for the arc
lamp. The result is that the lucigen
gives light of a quality highly effect
i've for working purposes.
The lucigen marks the latest advance
in The history of the production of light
from carbonaceoUs Substances, as not
only does it raise the carbon particles
to the most intense white heat. but the
form of the flame is such as 10 retain
them in that condition for the longest
period.
The lucigen has been adopted at
large number of works in this country.
including those of the Fourth Bridge.
and it is also in use by the French gov
erument for military operationS.-IrCYs.
